Criminal Defense Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police found our client asleep behind the wheel on a roadway, woke them, moved the car to a lot, and arrested after the client declined field sobriety tests. A blood draw was taken by warrant and later alleged a high alcohol level. We pulled the dash and body-cam video, scrutinized the warrant affidavit, the statutory warnings, and the handling of the sample. We pressed the gaps in proof of impairment at the scene and the paperwork issues with consent. The pressure led to a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

Possession of Marijuana

Location

Comal County, JP4

Allegations

During a traffic stop for tinted windows, our client was a passenger when the driver consented to a vehicle search. Officers located a small amount of marijuana and charged the passenger, who had no prior record, after an on-scene admission. We dug into the basis for the stop, the scope of the consent as it applied to a passenger, and how the statement was obtained. We outlined the suppression issues and the weak nexus tying possession to our client beyond the admission. After sustained pressure in negotiations, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

We moved fast, filing a motion to review and modify conditions and assembling mitigation that included treatment evaluations, program options, and family support. We negotiated a treatment focused alternative, detailing an outpatient plan and clear compliance steps. The court accepted the plan, the client avoided the facility, and the case was resolved with deferred probation intact.
